Honk Honk Clown Pepe Memes Mean Heil Hitler from 4chan and the Canadian Freedom Convoy.

Yesterday, Liberal Member of the Canadian Parliament Ya'ara Saks stated in front of the congregation that "Honk Honk" translates to "Heil Hitler," referencing the Honk Honk / Clown Pepe memes that have been surfacing on social media alongside the Canadain truckers part of the Freedom Convoy movement honking their horns as a form of protest.


The ongoing anti-vaccination-mandate protest has continued to stir controversy over the past month, most recently because of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act, which has the potential to allow Trudeau and the Canadian government to freeze bank accounts of protestors, among other drastic measures. Yesterday, the Canadian Parliament voted in regards to the invocation, which is when Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks brought to light the meaning of "Honk Honk" on 4chan.

Post-meeting, Saks tweeted about her statement, citing the evidence of her claim. Essentially, she quote retweeted a July 2019 tweet from Twitter user Gwen Snyder, who uploaded evidence of a 4chan thread dating back to February 2019 that used an image of Clown Pepe, writing beneath it, "Honk Honk = HH."


After news outlet The Post Millenial referenced Saks' statement in an article, Twitter users reacted to the clip en masse. Many took the side of Saks, agreeing that the anti-Semitic undertones of the Convoy were troubling. Others felt that Saks and the other Liberal members of Parliament were being overly sensitive, looking into meanings and origins that were not rooted in reality.


Of course, others took a more humorous approach to their reactions, creating their own meanings for the initials "HH," like Hulk Hogan for example. In the end, however, it can be clearly seen in the 4chan thread referenced by Saks that Honk Honk memes, at one point in time and by one user, alluded to pro-Nazi sentiments.

As the protests develop now that Canada's House has upheld the Emergencies Act, more controversial meme trends could be coming.

I mean frenworld had a bunch of shit that morphed honk honk into "Heil Honkler" and other "ironic" Nazi memes, so at the very least it has been used that way in the past.

Whether or not those people using it now are using it in the same way…My money's on no since there hasn't been any resurgence of "Heil Honkler" or other variations, at least not that I've seen. Just clown shit.
